Before Feng Yuzhen uttered, Wang Yueyue had answered first, which made him glower with displeasure in his eyes.
"It's not me. It's not me. It's really not me." Wang Yueyue did not notice Feng Yuzhen's unusual expression, and all she was eager to do was to prove her innocence. She shook her hands at a loss, her pale face screwing up.
"Who would do it except you!" A nanny kneeling on the ground raised her head and said angrily, and then, she kowtowed to Feng Yuxuan and burst into tears. "Lady felt better as she walked out today. King Ning's consort got along well with the Lady, so Lady asked us to stand farther from them, so they could have some private talks. Even they helped themselves with tea. But unexpectedly, just after a while, Lady was poisoned to death. Your Highness, please exercise justice for My Lady."
"Your Highness, please exercise justice for My Lady!" The kneeling maidservants and nannies kowtowed and cried.
Since
"Consort Xuan, could you please explain why you immediately changed after leaving Consort Chu? Could it be..." Feng Yuzhen did not complete his sentence. However, the suspicious look on his face made others cast suspicious gazes unto Mo Xuetong. Her clothes had not been dirtied at the banquet, so why did she change? Even though girls from wealthy families would prepare an extra set of clothes when they go out, the extra set would not be as appropriate as the one she wore. A lady would not change into her extra set of clothing under usual circumstances unless there was something else going on. And Ling Fengyan's incident had happened then. What a coincidence! Everything changed in that instance. Mo Xuetong had become the most likely suspect for Ling Fengyan's murder. "Consort Ning, I do not know what reason I had to kill Consort Yan. My husband is just a leisurely prince. Why would I have to do something like that!" Mo Xuetong c
No, no, it must not happen. She wanted her child! Wang Yueyue looked up in panic and fear at Feng Yuzhen. Her eyes were filled with bitter pain and pleading. Didn't they say that she just had to put on a show? Didn't they say that lighting the incense would make it look like her child would seem poisoned and there would be signs of a miscarriage? But it should not really happen. They had planned this all out and nothing had gone wrong. But why had it ended up like this? Her child, her child with royal blood. How did she miscarry just like that? As long as Ling Fengyan and Mo Xuetong stayed there for just a while, she could push the blame on them. She would be able to drag Mo Xuetong down while framing Ling Fengyan. This would clear all the obstructions for Feng Yuzhen. That was why she decided to work with him and plotted this scene in which she would use her child to frame Ling Fengyan. However, she never expected that Ling Fengyan would di
In King Chu's Manor. It was early evening by the time Feng Yuxuan returned to the manor. The night was approaching and the lights on the streets were already lit. He stood in front of the window and breathed out slowly, releasing the pent up energy in him. A cold and sinister smile appeared at the corners of his lips. No matter what would happen, a crack had appeared in the relationship between Feng Yuzhen and the Ding General Manor. Why would a woman plot against Ling Fengyan for no reason? If she had truly done something like that, it could only be because of her husband. This meant that Feng Yuzhen had killed Ling Fengyan! The enmity had begun. The Empress Dowager had planned to have the Ding General Manor stand on Feng Yuzhen's side because he was her blood kin. It seemed that the effect of that was going to be greatly reduced. Furthermore, there was the Grand Secretariat Wang. His two daughters had gotten into trouble one
It was still early when Feng Yuran and Mo Xuetong returned. The matter did not involve them a great deal and Feng Yuran's leg was still not healed. As such, they were allowed to return to their manor early. After Mo Xuetong got Feng Yuran to lie down when they returned home, news of the Princess Royal's arrival came. As such, Mo Xuetong received Princess Royal in her courtyard. Princess Royal came in a hurry and only brought a few people. When Mo Xuetong entered the room and curtsied, the princess nodded. She looked at the servants around Mo Xuetong with narrowed eyes and did not say anything. She wanted to speak with Mo Xuetong alone. Mo Xuetong waved her hands and Mo Lan and the other servants left. The servants around Princess Royal followed them and left as well. Mo Lan, who was the last to leave closed the door and waited a few steps away from the door. After serving Mo Xuetong for so long, she
"Tong'er, where did you get this?" Feng Yuran asked carelessly when he saw the jade pendant in Mo Xuetong's pale hand. "Mother intentionally left behind a jade bangle. I was bored these few days and examined it to discover the secret that laid within. There is a small secret compartment and this little jade pendant was inside it when I opened it." Mo Xuetong told the truth without hesitation. She was going to come clean to Feng Yuran today. She would brave through the storms with him. Feng Yuran did not look at the jade pendant. His eyes were grave as he looked at Mo Xuetong. He looked at the determination in her clear eyes for a long while. In the end, he sighed softly and kissed her hair. He was gentle and loving as he said softly, "You don't have to be involved in such matters in the future." He understood what was on her heart in an instant. "I don't want to. I am your wife. I am the person who h
Mo Xuetong met Mo Xuemin in an empty courtyard. The yard's door was locked, and there were a few littered bowls on the ground with some spoiled leftovers. It was not too cold today, but the dishes had been sour. Obviously, the food had been put there for a long time. Mo Lan helped Mo Xuetong into the yard and saw Mo Xuetong at first sight. Mo Xuemin was all skin and bone with sunken eyes and prominent cheekbones. She looked like a middle-aged woman in her 30s and 40s at first glance, totally dispossessed of her beautiful face. She was dressed in rags and her broken clothes were screwed randomly. But her eyes were still full of wickedness. Seeing Mo Xuetong come in finery, Mo Xuetong fixed her eyes on Mo Xuetong tightly and said in a trembling and hoarse voice full of hatred. "It's you, right?" Mo Xuetong wore an ice-blue light gauze dress with silk sash at the waist and a hemmed skirt of the same color to make her
"Okay," Mo Xuetong nodded, knowing that Mo Lan hoped her to think a lot of the child, so that Mo Xuetong could gain her father's favor more. A married woman still needed to rely on her own brother and father. Although Mo Xuetong did not have an elder brother, if Xu Yan conceived a baby boy, the boy would be Mo Xuetong's younger brother, as well as the support in her paternal family. As for Mo Yufeng, Mo Xuetong did not have any expectations. It was said that Mo Yufeng became more muddled and messed up his own yard completely. All of the good-looking maidservants belonged to him, and he had a house of concubines and maidservants with confusing ranks. It was rather ignominious. So father also had no expectation for him. And because Auntie Fang was expelled from Mo's clan, Mo Yufeng's presence seemed awkward. Mo Huawen just gave him a yard and drove him there directly, totally indifferent to him. After coming back to King Xuan's M
When the carriage came to the gate of the palace, the little eunuch guarding at the gate trotted toward at the sight of the King Xuan's Manor's carriage, and led it into the palace fawningly. A long line of carriages moved backward to give way to the carriage. King Xuan was the Emperor's favorite prince, and no one dared to offend him. When the carriage stopped well, Mo Xuetong got off first and helped Feng Yuran to get off. And He Yuxiu behind had already came out of her carriage. A little eunuch guarded there and hurried to kneel down when seeing Feng Yuran get off the carriage. "Your Highness, His Majesty asks you to go to the Qianqing Palace." Feng Yuran frowned and looked at Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong knew that he was worried about her, so she squeezed his hand in the sleeves, took a sideways glance at He Yuxiu who was coming towards them, and suggested. "You just go. I will go to the Cining Palace first and pay my respects to
It was midnight when Feng Yuran came back from the palace that night. Under the light, Mo Xuetong's beautiful face looked pink, which he had been praying for for a long time. Although he was tired and dizzy, he felt relieved.Fortunately, Bai Yihao did not make a desperate bet. That day, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already sweating on his back.If Bai Yihao had threatened him with Tong'er's life...If, Bai Yihao was determined not to give up...If Bai Yihao wanted to get Tong'er even if he would destroy her...He would really don't know what to do!Fortunately, there were not so many "ifs". Fortunately, Bai Yihao let go in the end. Even though he had already known Bai Yihao's character, he was still very nervous and flustered at that time in that place. Caring too much disturbed the mind. In this life, Tong'er was his weakness, but it was the weakness that he was willing to have.
Looking at the confident Bai Yihao who had a smile in his eyes, Feng Yuran suddenly put on an enchanting smile. He squinted at him and asked, "Tong'er is smart. If she knew that it was your mother who poisoned her mother back then and the poison in Auntie Fang's hands was left by your mother, what would you do?"This was a fatal blow, and Bai Yihao hid it in his heart. He thought that no one would mention it!The smile froze on Bai Yihao's handsome face. For a moment, there was a hint of blood in the corner of his warm eye. He put away the smile on his lip corners and looked at Feng Yuran viciously. "You're really funny. How could that poison have something to do with my mother?"That was the topic he didn't dare to mention. He even felt guilty and his heart was even twisted."It's a strange poison, so it must have come from a strange place. There was no way for an ordinary concubine to get it. Even though Auntie Fang died in the r
Since Yan Kingdom had taken in some remainders of Ding General Manor, the country would definitely become the Qin Kingdom's enemy. Bai Yihao was the commander-in-chief of Yan Kingdom. On the surface, the only person in the Qin Kingdom who could suppress the troops of Ding General Manor was King Xuan, Feng Yuran. In the past, Fu General and King of Xian were on different sides of Ding General Manor. They seemed to be friendly on the surface, but in private, they held each other back.The war drew near. Feng Yuran bid farewell to Mo Xuetong and led the army to the border. It was winter, so it was a little cold. Mo Xuetong stood on a small mountain town outside the city gate and could not help crying with a handkerchief in her hand when she saw the purple general's robe disappear from her sight.Mo Xuetong felt sad and could not hold back her tears when she thought that he had to go to the battle field and could not sleep well. The war was urgent and he had to
Yan Empress heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Lan Yanwen looking calm, she said politely, "That's right, that's right. I can't stay here any longer. I'll leave this to you." She was still the dignified Empress of the Yan Kingdom."Goodbye, Your Majesty!" Lan Yanwen lowered his head and bowed respectfully, which was no different from his usual attitude. Yan Empress waved her hand with satisfaction, took her people to get on the carriage at the back door and returned to the deep palace.Yan Empress left, surrounded by a large group of people. Lan Yanwen slowly raised his head, and his beautiful eyes were inexplicably deep in the flickering light. He stared at the back of Yan Empress and walked to Princess Royal's body that was lying on the ground, speechless for a moment.The night was very quiet, as if the sound of people's breathing could be heard!After a long time, Lan Yanwen ordered, "Somebody, take Princess Royal Mingzhu out! Alo
It was Yan Empress's voice!In the dark, Mo Xuetong didn't dare to move. She bit her lips and even held her breath, hiding in the rockery. Although it was secluded, Yan Empress came with so many people, and she might find her. If Mo Xuetong fell into her hands, it would be terrible!"Sister Yunruo?" Princess Royal helped Nanny Qin to stand firm under the light. Looking at Yan Empress, who was protected by a group of secret guards and eunuchs, she slowly restored calmness.There was no guard around her, and the only person beside her was Nanny Qin, who knew nothing about martial arts. She was sort of alone now.Mo Xuetong also saw Lan Yanwen hiding in the dark beside Yan Empress. "He came as well?"This small courtyard of the Lan family gathered all kinds of powerful personage unexpectedly. It was quite lively."Sister Mingzhu, it's not easy for you to remember me. Why don't you come to my palace to have a
Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, the Yan Empress knew that Bai Yihao was still worried. She gave a sweet smile and wrapped her soft arms around Bai Yichen's neck. Her breath was fragrant and she smiled seductively in his ear, "Don't worry. He still thinks that I really want to send some people to the East Palace and have been focusing on investigating the women in the Beauty Gathering Palace. When we succeed in the harem, it will be too late for him to do anything.""The old man won't suspect us, will he?" Bai Yichen paused for a moment and was still a little worried."Don't worry. Even if he senses something is wrong, he can't tell his son. Most of the imperial physicians in the palace are our people. When the right time comes, whichever palace he will die in, it has nothing to do with us!" The Yan Empress smiled as her eyes raked over Bai Yichen's handsome face, and she looked even more charming.However, as the two
With a thud, the memorials to the throne on the table were slammed to the ground, and Emperor Zongwen's face had darkened."Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Regardless of the memorials to the throne that were scattered all over the ground, Liu Xi hurriedly turned around to support Emperor Zongwen, who was about to fall down with one hand covering his chest. His usually calm face was filled with anxiety and panic."B*tch, that b*tch, how dare she... deceive me!" Emperor Zongwen's face was purple. He reached out to cover his chest and said a few words with difficulty. As he opened her mouth, he spat a mouthful of blood. Liu Xi only had time to cover his mouth with a handkerchief before he immediately became dispirited and was helped to sit on the throne."Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Even if you don't look out for yourself, you still have to consider His Highness," Liu Xi persuaded anxiously as he served E
In the dark night, the wind rushed backward and poured into Mo Xuetong's mouth and nose. Her eyes were blurred. Subconsciously, she stretched her arms behind her, held the comer's waist tightly and buried her head deeply in his arms. Then she let out a breath slowly, her nose full of the scent of a familiar man. As she breathed, his scent heavily enveloped her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved and softened.The man gave a little chuckle in her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe, making her itch like a feather. "Tong'er, don't be afraid. It's me!"In the satisfied sigh, she felt that his grip on her body was getting tighter.His voice was mellow and leisurely, like the alcohol that had been brewed for many years and was filled with an intoxicating aura.There was less noise following him. He landed lightly on a horse in front of him. Then Mo Xuetong was turned around and landed steadily in his embrace.
Mo Xuetong did not use the Lan family's horse carriage. There was indeed a horse carriage sent from the Crown Prince's East Palace parked at the entrance. After they got on the horse carriage, Qing Zhu asked, "Miss, how did you know that the person is not the true head of the Lan family?" There was nothing different in air, deportment, or appearance between the man and the head of the Lan family."I am just an orphan daughter of the Lan family. Even if the Lan family values me, there is a limit. Even if I can enter the East Palace in the future and be favored by His Highness, it will still be a matter of the future. The Lan family does not lack beauties in their back courtyard. It is already a great honor for me to send Minister of Public Works to meet me. It is said that Minister of Public Works is the best husband in the hearts of the princesses," Mo Xuetong stated with a faint smile. She took the tea that Qing Zhu poured for her and took a sip before she leisurely re
